I have my GMAT in a few days and while trying to take a full-length test I got a 7 on the IR without studying for it at all. Do you still recommend studying for IR?
Is the GMAT Prep IR representative of the IR on the real exam?

Thank you for your time!
Solving a few IR questions is unlikely to be a problem, but make sure that it does not affect your quant and verbal. Those sections are much more important than IR.

Hi orochimaru123,

Assuming that you took the CAT (and this IR section) in a realistic fashion, then this result shows that you're a strong overall critical thinker - meaning that you probably don't need to do any additional work on IR.

Since you're just a few days from your Official Exam, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - you would be better served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.

Hi orochimaru123,

If you could score a 7 on IR, you’d be in a great spot. That being said, since your exam is in just a few days, I don’t recommend doing any major studying or cramming. What is the exact date of your GMAT? Definitely reach back out after to let us know how things went.

I found that my IR scored varied on the practice tests a fair bit, so ended up spending a couple of hours on it and ended up with a 7 on the official. I imagine it's only a flag for schools if you score really low, so don't stress too much about it. A few hours work (similar to the essay) should prep you enough!
